The city that never sleeps and thank god it never does because everyone being on the street gives people who have no homes free cash for food zoom zoom some who is very fast zooms around the city taken cash and cards from out of towners after a few hours this person runs away back to an abandoned building where this kid and his best friend live once in the room they share the person who did all the stealing puts down his hoody and takes out a cell phone that was his now and sends a message too Dee Horton <hey Dee its mark your boy has a cell now tax me some pics so you can be in this phone its mine now you going to be home for dinner ? If yes I will make sure you have hot clean water I also have some cash for those new jeans and coat you wanted marry Christmas my friend> He hits send thin takes off his cloths and goes into the bathroom and starta to relieve himself it was something he had to do after he used his power Dee might be awhile if she was doing one of her jobs Dee was very important to him he hoped she would be back soon new york was not as safe for people like them like it use to be

When you were as, home to home as they were you had to do what you could to make it. She cussed a little bit as she got the text but she did text back" I will be there in about twenty minutes. We will need more food after we eat tonight so I am going to see if I can find something so valuable for us to get more for to make it a few more days.It was not that she liked stealing or rather borrowing with interest but she did need to know that they would be okay in the end.

Dee had a lot going for her but everything that she did had a reason behind it. She wanted a better life for her and Mark but she knew that was because they had watched out for one another since day one of being pretty much homeless. She made her way home and coughed. "Geez Mark, think you made enough steam?" she asked. Mark Marten

"I didn't get as much of a big haul as I usually did," she said. "However it will do for the next few days and I think that is good and no I do not need a shower, I did find us some street cart food though if you are interested in getting dressed and eating some." Mark Marten

Street cart food was some of Mark's favorite things to eat dee knew it too he calls out " I will be out to join you soon " he thin turns off the shower and drys off and puts on a robe he took when he and dee stayed at the trump motel he thin walks out to her "dont worry about not getting much we have enough stashed away for the next month we also can go to the banker for a loan " The banker was the code name of a black market operator who would loan you things for a price or a job rumor had it he was how the Ashford got oddities on to there nice island and got food cloths and everything they needed through the U.N. blockade Mark knew dee didn't like him but he at least helped them from starving Dee Horton

She nodded after a few seconds. "If we need to go there we will make sure we get everything that we need in one swoop. I know that way we can or will only have to do one job to pay it forward," she said as she handed him some food. "Let me know how you like it, it smells damn delicious." Mark Marten

"That sounds like a plan to me," she said. "Hey you ever heard of a place called Ashford Isle?" she asked. "One of the clients that I took some jewelry from had a brochure going there and I was curious." Mark Marten

Mark splits the snack she brought in half for them he makes a face as he thinks over her question "I think that place has been in the papers a lot since last year big Ted Ashford has called all oddities to the island where they will have a better life your supost to contact an agent of the Ashfords they will set it up " He shrugs "they have really made the normals mad besides that not thought much about it why ? Are you wanting to go ? " He didn't want her to leave him but he would only go if she asked him to go he pats next to him for her to take a seat and terns on the tv loony toons was on one of his favorite cartoons this one was making fun of oddities and all the hate they got he knew the cartoons committee had to give them heat over that but he just laughed and laughed Dee Horton

"Mark look I know that I never say it enough but I am so glad that we get to know each other and that we have one another listening here in the states. I know that sometimes it can be hard to trust someone but I still trust you the most." She took a second. "I just want to go for a visit, only a few days. I could never truly give up my life in new york." Mark Marten
